Tho Losc Tribes,

Tho Lost Tribes.
There are many reasons for believing
that the Ten Lost tribes OF Israel" ret
tied in the rorth of E1rope. I will
add smother link to tho chain of evi
dence. II is recorded IN the law that
"she king bs elected BY the National
Assembly of all the Swedes at the
Mora Stone. Ia the plain near Upoaia,
and the assembly Of all the Gotks shall
70 elect or confirm him." And why OF
tho Mora Some? Let IN see. And
Aoram passed through the land unto
the place OF Siohem, unto tho plain Of
Moreh." "And there butided he An
altar unto the Lord. VII, appeared unto
hiIA. ---len. xii 6, T." Aud Jscob wonr
on; from Bsersheba and went toward
harau. And he lighted upon . certain
place and tArried there all night, be-
cause the sun was sot; and he took OF
the stones OF that pace and put them
for hts pillows and lay down in that
place 70 sleep, aud be dreamed, and b.
hold o ladder SCI up on the earth, and
the top OF 1t reached to heaven; and bs.
hold the angels of God aece nding and
descending upon It. And behold the
Lord stood above 1t. And Jacob walked
out OF his sleep, ami he said, How
Dreadful 10 this piacsi This 10 none
other than tho house OF God, and this
II the gate OF bssven. Aud Jacob rose
early In the morning and took the stone
that he had put for his pillows and set
Il up for pillar and poured oil upon
the top Of It." And Jscob said, "And
this stone, which have set for 6 pillar,
shall bo Gods house."
Ga jacobs return nom Harau b.
bought piece OF land near Shecne 10
and erected an altar there. And God
said unto JACOB, arise. go mp to Bethel
and dwell there, and make there an
altar unto God that appeared unto thee
when thou fleddest from the place CT
E,au, thy brother" Jacobs pillar and
altar were OF Be'hei, which neverthe
less is clcte to Shechem, where Abram
had erected his altar in Morsh. This
was the great placs OF assembly OF al
Israel.
And Joshua gathered all the tribes
OF Israel to Shechem and called for tse
elders OF Israel, aud for their heads, and
Tor their judsee, and for their officers;
aud they presented themselves be:ore
God.
SO Joshua uAdo Covenant with the
psople that day, and I'D. them q statute
ald an ordinance In Shechein. Aud
joshua wr5te these words Ia the book
Of the law Of God, snd took great
stone and set 1t up there under az OAK,
that was by t le sanctuary of the L. ri
And Joshua said m o ali the people,
Behold, this stone shall be witnsss
unto US: for 1. hath heard all the words
OF the Lord which he spake unto ug; 1t
shall be therefore vitnssI unto you,
last ye deny your God" Joshua "a: /,
25 26. 81.

"Are they not on ihs other side of Jor.
dan, by the way when the sun goeth
down. IN the land of the Csnasnitos,
which dwell in the champaign over

Such was the cJmmaud Of Modes.
On Mount Ebsi Joshua built an Sltor
OF unhewn stones, On which all the

So the kings OF Israel were crowned

The kings of England nrs crowned on

have besn carried by the Goths to Ire

sration from EAT Qotn, Eat Gott Scott.
